SCHOOL BOARD.
Temperance Text Books Adopted

A special meeting of the school board
was held last night, at which considera-
BILE business was transacted. The con-
tract with Mr.. Jesse Welch was ordered
changed so as to allow him to build the
new floors of Southern pine instead OF
Northern, as the latter could not be OBJ
tanned in time.
The amount of the contract was re-
duced to 1915.
A sidewalk was ordered to be laid in
front of the Pleasant Grove building,
when the street there is graded, which
will be very soon.
The committee to which the matter
had been referred reported in favor OF
a contract with Hutchinson q Moffet for
the rental of all text books used in the
High School, with certain amendments,
one of which provides that if the rentals
do not pay during the first year the
board may be released from the contract.
The report was adopted and contract Or
dered signed if agreeable to Hutchinson
& Moffet.
1t was decided by vote of 4 to 3 to
adopt the Pathfinder series of temper
ance text books for the lower and inter
mediate grades, and the one hitherto
used in the higher grades-the Smith
book. The question was between these
books and the series recommended by
the State temperance text book commits
sion. Those voting in favor of the books
adopted were Messrs. Mcconnell, Key
sor, Washburn and Barr; those in favor
of the other series were Messrs. Flach-
seminar, Wysong and Deebach.
After allowing some bills the board adj
iourned.

but we are pleased to say he is now able
to be out of doors again, and his friends
expect him to be as good as new in a few
days.
Members of the G. A. R., who desire
to attend the State Fair on the 18th,
18th and 18th of September, can secure
tickets from Mankato for the round trip
for $2.37, including tickets to the
grounds.
Mrs. NJ. d. Gates, State street, will
entertain the Methodist Episcopal socia-
BILE on Wednesday next, 18th inst. A
cordial invitation is extended to all.
Gentlemen will be on hand for tea at 6
O'Clock.
The Episcopal rectory will be con-
strueted at once on the lot in rear of the
church edifice. While the location is
not all that could be desired, it is the
best that could be secured under the cir
cumstances.
The appearance of the Episcopal
Church Is being greatly improved by the
construction of belfry tower. The bell
! has hitherto been on the ground in a

BOARD OF TRADE.

The regular meeting of the Board o.
Trade was held Monday morning, Pres
Noe presiding, and Mr.. S. +. Barney
acting as secretary in the absence OF Mr.,
@. A. Chapman.
A communication from Mr.. +. A. Doc
little concerning the Minnesota Terra
Gotta Lumber Company was received
and the matter was explained by Pres.
Noe. The feeling of the Board was in
favor of having the mandatory estab-
lished here, though no action was taken.
Mr.. Washburn, from the encampment
committee made full statement of the
status of the financial part ofthe matter.
He stated that hardly day passed but
what some new bill was presented,
while hardly any money had been taken
in since the encampment. 1t was de-
cided to hold committee meeting to-
night for the purpose of seeing what had
best be done, after which especial meet
ing of the Board will be held TO take ac-
ton on the recommendations.
Mr.. NJ. G. Willard reported what had
been done toward securing the location
of the Norwegian Theological Seminary
or the Teachers Training school at this
point. He stated that the Theological
Seminary would be located at st. Paul,
but that there was chance of securing
the Training school.
Mr.. Washburn. stated that he and Mr..
Piper had made the synod an offer of a
location in Germania addition. He
stated that although the seminary would
be located at St. Paul, still there was
chance of obtaining the Training school
and Orphans asylum, which it was pro-
posed to locate somewhere. He thought
that Alexandria was the most important
competitor for the location of the Train
ing school as it had offered to donate to
the synod the buildings of seminary
that was already located there but which
had not been great success.
President Noe announced the appoint
ment of the following special hotel COM
mittee: Messrs. j. A. Willard, John F.
Meagher, Z. NJ. Pope and II. P. Chris
Jensen. This committee, with Mr.. Noe,
will have charge of any new hotel propo-
sitions that may be brought before the
Board. Adjourned.

A WEST MASKATo BLAZE.
Two Barns With Their Contents Burned
Was Il IncendiarY?

About 500 o'clock Tuesday afternoor
a fire was discovered in Mr.. John Duffy
barn, in West Mankato. The alarm wal
sounded at the West Mankato station
but before anything could be done the
fire had consumed the building and
spread to another barn, owned by Mr.
Lobdell, and also TO q corn crib, both Of
which were burned TO the ground. Some
grain and a set of harness in Mr.. Dufy's
barn we're also consumed. The loss ID
estimated at about $3.50 on Mr.. Dufy's
property and 500 on Mr.. LobdelPs.
The formers barn was insured for $3.50.
1t is thought that Mr.. Duffy's barn was
purposely set on fire by some one. The
blaze was first seen on the upper floor
in the hay and straw. A span of colts
was tied in the barn, but, luckily, were
rescued. Mr.. ID. was not at home at the
time the fire was discovered. He states
that the halters of the horses we're found
that morning to have been cut by some
one, that being the second time it
had happened. This fact. together with
the place where the fire originated,
gives color to the superstition that the
fire was of incendiary origin.
